Game lodge for sale in Welgevonden

Private Game Lodge for Sale in Welgevonden Big 5 Game Reserve!
A Rare Opportunity to Acquire Full Ownership of a Private Lodge in Welgevonden Game Reserve
A unique opportunity to acquire 100% ownership of both the lodge and its operating entity, situated in the heart of the prestigious Welgevonden Big 5 Game Reserve.
This beautifully presented lodge is offered as a complete turnkey package, including all assets, furnishings, a game viewer vehicle, and dedicated staff. The transaction is structured with the aim of selling the entire lodge, allowing a prospective buyer to step seamlessly into ownership and operations. Purchasing the entity, rather than just the assets, may offer significant financial benefits — with estimated savings of up to R4 million in transaction-related costs.
The property comprises five en-suite double chalets and a spacious main lodge featuring four elegant living areas, a large social kitchen, and two fireplaces – perfect for cozy Bushveld evenings.
Outdoor amenities include a swimming pool, boma, braai area, and a thatched dining space, all perfectly positioned to capture stunning sunset views. A well-equipped gym further enhances the lifestyle offering, ideal for staying active between game drives and relaxed dining experiences.
The lodge is entirely off-grid, powered by a state-of-the-art solar system with two backup generators to ensure uninterrupted supply. The property is securely fenced for privacy and safety; however, fencing can be removed to allow full integration with the reserve's open wildlife environment.
Additional features include staff accommodation and a pilot room on site. The interior of the main lodge has been recently renovated to a high standard, offering a modern and tasteful living experience. While the guest chalets are in good condition, they may require upgrades to meet current star-grading standards for commercial hospitality use.
Centrally positioned within the reserve and close to a nearby airstrip, this lodge offers exceptional convenience for air travel. It represents a rare and exclusive opportunity to own a private retreat in one of South Africa's most desirable wildlife destinations.
OPTION TO BUY:
1) Sale of Property out of a VAT Registered Company - R20.2 MIL
2) Sale of 100% Shares of the VAT Registered Company R16.9 Mil
